A Bear! ...or Something
A woman answers a call for help. It's her job, after all.
5 mins
"A Bear! ...or Something" is a tightly contained and sharp-witted suspense short that unfolds in real time across two locations: a sterile emergency dispatch center and the pitch-black forest. With minimal visuals and a creeping sense of dread, the story builds tension through dialogue, sound, and the widening gap between those who seek help and those tasked with answering.
